[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jun-yi] The opposition Democratic Party of Korea condemned the current administration, accusing it of neglecting public welfare and privatizing power. At the same time, they warned the Yoon Seok-yeol government to stop investigations targeting the previous administration and the Moon Jae-in government.

On the afternoon of the 11th, the Democratic Party held a party meeting at the National Assembly and issued a statement titled "Condemning the Yoon Seok-yeol Government for Neglecting Public Welfare and Privatizing Power."

All members stated in the declaration, "The Democratic Party can no longer tolerate the president's arrogance and autocracy that recklessly ignores public sentiment," adding, "As the responsible opposition party, we will properly check the government's actions that do not meet the people's expectations."

They urged the Yoon administration to ▲ apologize for the personnel fiasco and completely overhaul the personnel system ▲ disclose the full details of the unofficial political scandal and prevent recurrence ▲ stop the prosecution's dictatorship and political retaliation attempts through control of the police and prosecution ▲ actively cooperate to normalize the National Assembly to address urgent livelihood issues.

On the same day, the lawmakers held placards reading "Stop the Privatization of Power by the Yoon Seok-yeol Government" and "Condemn the Yoon Seok-yeol Government for Neglecting Public Welfare," repeatedly chanting slogans.

Before a closed-door meeting, Emergency Committee Chair Woo Sang-ho criticized the current administration for conducting retaliatory investigations against the previous government. He said, "It is truly deplorable to see the obsession with seizing power institutions and retaliatory investigations," adding, "As the opposition party, we must protest and condemn the ruling party and government's wrong attitude that is causing democracy to regress."

He continued, "We strongly warn the Yoon administration," urging, "Please stop investigations targeting the previous administration and, ultimately, the former president."

Floor Leader Park Hong-geun also emphasized, "President Yoon not only fails to heed public sentiment but still tries to turn back the tide of history," adding, "The unofficial controversies involving acquaintances and close aides emerging from the presidential office are enough to trigger the public's trauma from state affairs manipulation," and stressed, "We can no longer tolerate the president's arrogance and autocracy recklessly ignoring public sentiment."
